Why does your money seem to buy less and less over time — and what does Bitcoin have to do with it?

In Part 3 of our Crypto News Today deep-dive series, we tackle currency debasement and one of the biggest arguments behind Bitcoin.

We break down where claims that the U.S. dollar loses around 7% of its value each year actually come from, why money-supply growth is not the same thing as CPI inflation, and why simply adding the two numbers together gives you the wrong answer.

We also look at where newly created money and credit can flow, why property, stocks and other scarce assets can rise much faster than everyday consumer prices, and why holding cash carries a form of risk that is almost invisible: loss of purchasing power.

Inside this deep dive:

  • What currency debasement actually means
  • Why money-supply growth and inflation are different
  • Where the famous “7%” argument comes from
  • Why governments continually expand debt and credit
  • How asset-price inflation can affect ordinary people
  • Why cash is stable in dollars but not necessarily in purchasing power
  • Why Bitcoin's 21 million maximum supply matters
  • Why Michael Saylor views Bitcoin as a long-term savings technology
  • The difference between volatility and long-term monetary risk
  • Why Bitcoin does not need the U.S. dollar to collapse in order to succeed

And at the end, we set up Part 4, where we move into Black Swan events — what happens when the financial system suddenly breaks and governments and central banks are forced to respond.

Question for you: if you had $100,000 that you couldn't touch for 20 years, would you rather keep it entirely in cash or own a mixture of scarce and productive assets?
